Produced by Keith Cleversley (Flaming Lips, Spiritualized) and Ed Ackerson (Polara), Colfax Abbey are a late but very welcome addition to the striped and Jazzmaster-clad set so revered in the early '90s (see: My Bloody Valentine, Ride). Guitarist Mark Margosian bleeds gently thunderous atmospherics from his effects-addled amplification, the notes swooping around liquefied vocals and linear, looping drum patterns with searing electronic elegance. But aside from the sonic production, these songs are built to outlast the Spacemen 3 T-shirts their fans will undoubtedly be wearing. They're of the saddest, highest order, instantly memorable to those who once slept ever so soundly to the desultory, heart-destroying bliss of Slowdive and the Cocteau Twins. Members: Troy Degroot - bass Christian Rangel - vox, guitars Mark Margosian - guitars Rob Walsh - drums. percussion American shoegaze band from Minneapolis, MN.
